Illegal? I don't believe it's even scheduled (no, it is scheduled in some states, but not federally). Regardless, explain why it was approved for Adult GHD by the FDA in 1996. Explain why it's sometimes used in HRT in patients with a low IGF-1 count. Explain why it's used in the treatment of Aids related Waisting Disease, along with Turner Syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, and others, not to mention the controversial, though legal use of it in anti-aging treatments. There's nothing illegal about HGH, and it's used for much more than Short Bowel Syndrome.
Technically, there is a federal law in the United States that prohibits the use of human growth hormone for any purpose outside of a very narrow range of conditions. At the beginning of 2007, the federal government made some attempts to start enforcing this previously obscure law.
Doctors in the United States simply ignore the law that prohibits the uses of HGH not approved by the FDA. Any doctor who does so is risking legal problems. Although it is almost impossible to actually convict any physician for prescribing HGH for any medical condition (because juries are more compassionate than government bureaucracies), the federal government has tried, and such attempts have been financially very costly for physicians.
When I turn 40, I want hgh.
It is mainly used for anti-aging.
